FijiPhil Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Hey all, up for sale is my red 88 Conquest. Its a 5 speed, has 160,XXX miles, and from what I was told has a freshly rebuilt engine. I bought the car last fall from a friend, as he was tired of messing with it and wanted to part it out. I thought it was too nice to be scrapped. I replaced the rear end, as well as other little things here and there. Its worth noting, the rear end had been swapped out at some time before with a 4 bolt rear end, and I put a 4 bolt rear end back into the car, as the axles, torque tube, and hubs were all correct. The rear end I put in came from a very well maintained car. The previous owner claimed it had a very recent rebuild. Though I cant verify that, I believe him. The engine bay is painted black (so the engine was obviously out) and the head appears to be brand new. I was told it had a forged bottom end, and ported head, etc. I cant claim that is true, but I took the valve cover off and it is a non-jetvalve head with mechanical lifters. The car seems to run well to me, but I believe needs a valve adjustment as the motor has a slight valve tick. The car does have fantastic oil pressure though. The interior is black leather, and is pretty nice with the exception of the drivers seat. Ill try to get some pics up soon of it. The car has tokiko struts and I believe eibach lowering springs. They are blue. Feel free to correct me if I have guessed wrong LOL. There is some rust, and the car could use some body work. I think the pictures are more flattering than real life, but thats just me. The paint is not as faded as most RO4 cars get, but there is some fading on the bumpers. There is also some damage on the drivers door and drivers fender. Im happy to give the new owner another door. Overall, this is not a show car, but would be a great first conquest for someone, or could make a good daily driver. The car needs a windshield, and could use new front rubber and an alignment. If my asking price is met, I can include a windshield. Id like to see 1800 for the car. More pics will be coming soon. Feel free to call or text me with any questions, my number is 804-314-5938, and the car is located in Doswell, VA 23047.

FijiPhil Posted October 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Here is a picture inside of the head, my dad snapped this for me this morning. It may be worth mentioning the reason I am selling this is Im living in Washington state right now, and it just dosent make sense for me to have all my conquest stuff laying around. I think my mom is tired of looking at it As you can see, it is very clean inside the head, and also has ARP headstuds. http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r80/fijiphil/InsideVC.jpeg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FijiPhil Posted November 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 No love for the quest? I think the price is pretty reasonable for a running, driving car with the upgrades it has and a rebuilt motor, but I am open to offers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
